When I click on link in a website firefox randomly decide to reload the page after it has already loaded it once. It's really irritating. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing the latest version but it still does it. HELP!!!!

Question

After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?

I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />
network.http.max-connections 48<br />
network.http.max-connections-per-server 16<br />
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 16<br />
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 8<br />
network.http.pipelining true<br />
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest true<br />
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 8<br />
network.http.proxy.pipelining true<br />
network.http.request.max-start-delay 0<br />
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
